Revision as of 13:08, 5 February 2018

Caleb Matthew Reynolds is a contestant from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng and Survivor: Game Changers.

A well-liked figure at camp in both his seasons, Caleb was able to form relationships with virtually every one of his tribe members, most notably Tai Trang. He was also a major competitor in challenges, which caused him to be evacuated in his first season following a brutal heatstroke after winning a Reward Challenge for his tribe.

In his second season, he remained competitive and was in good position on the original Mana tribe, but a Tribe Switch put him in the minority; this along with his relationship with Tai Trang led to another early departure.

3 Words to Describe You: Gregarious, spontaneous and hilarious.
If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island What Would They Be and Why? My phone because it has my music and pictures; my Bible so I can stay in the word and be in touch with God through scripture; and pen and paper so I can write my thoughts down.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Hayden because I really loved him on the show and he was athletic. He knows when to be a beast and how to play.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Winning the money to better life financing. Also, I love the woods and anything survival related. I feel I can survive anything, so I want to be put to the test!
Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I am an ex-military man and very well trained in survival. I'm a tough competitor and can make fire out of nothing, build shelter, create insulation, help catch and kill food. I'm the die-hard outdoors man that can and will survive!

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I have the skills it takes to get through the tough situations of little to no water, or little to no food and I make things happen. If I made it through a war zone for 11 months, I can make it through a jungle for 39 days![2]

What are you most proud of from the last time? I gave it my all and I didn’t get voted out. I made my tribe proud and went out swinging.

What, if anything, do you most regret? Nothing![3]

Survivor

Kaôh Rōng

Despite Caleb's initial confusion towards Tai's placement on the beauty tribe, the two quickly became friends. Gondol did not have to go to Tribal Council prior to the swap in large part due to Caleb's challenge strength. His ability to befriend the women as well as the women's distrust in Nick kept him out of danger as well. However, his game was cut short on Day 9, being medevaced after suffering from heat stroke. Tai and the rest of Gondol were devastated, but they managed to avenge his departure by winning the final immunity challenge before the swap.

Game Changers

Caleb was on the Mana tribe. After Tony Vlachos ran into the jungle to look for a Hidden Immunity Idol, Caleb and Sandra Diaz-Twine follow him and eventually catch him. Caleb then aligned with Tony. Mana lost immunity. At Tribal Council, Caleb joined the majority in voting out Ciera Eastin. Mana lost immunity again. Tony and Sandra targeted each other. Caleb argued that Tony should stay because he can help the tribe win challenges, but at Tribal Council, Caleb joined the majority in voting out Tony.

Caleb remained on Mana along with Hali Ford after the Tribe Switch occurred. They were joined by Nuku members Brad Culpepper, Sierra Dawn Thomas, and Caleb's fellow Kaôh Rōng castmates Tai Trang and Debbie Wanner. Tai tried to bring Caleb into his alliance. Mana lost immunity. At camp, Caleb and Hali were targets for being the outsiders. Caleb believed he was safe because of his strength in challenges. While Tai wanted to keep Caleb, Brad convinced him that keeping Caleb was dangerous because it would make the others believe they are a pair which would put a huge target on his back. At Tribal Council, Caleb voted for Hali, but the rest voted against him, so he was voted out.
